you know what nicole, i bet it's gonna be just fine! and the less you have to do, the less stress alltogether. so a simple symbolic ceromony in mexico is what we are doing as well, with our big wedding st home. but we are putting the whole thing together, the 19 of us going are meeting at this secluded beach we know, doing the ceremony (doug's bro is our minister!, so that helps) and then going to dinner in town at a place we all like. nothing fancy, but stress free and simple!

Your probably right but the darn WC hasn't gotten back to me letting me know it is okay just to do the symbolic ceremony! oh well.. if i get married twice i get married twice.. lol

So any of you other July brides a bit nervous.. see i am getting married on a resort that no one on here has gotten married at and really I feel like i just do everything there.. who knows if it will even turn out okay.. i feel like most of you talk to you WC a lot and i maybe have emailed her like 3 times.. i am now in the process of seeing if i can just do a symbolic ceremony and get married here.. no blood test for me.. boo! so yeah.. anyone else nervose of decideing everything in 2 days

nicole, no one here is getting married at my resort either.. for a little while i was bummed about it, but it's too late now! and i figure even if evvvvvvverything goes wrong, at the end of the day i'm still married, and i still had a fun vacation with 25 people

So....I've been thinking. Locked up in a hotel room in Houston (because I hate Houston and refuse to venture out) is making me spend tons of money online....anywho...I think I might end up with a veil and flower even though I said I would not wear a veil.

My new screwed up hair cut is not growing fast enough and the back is still jacked up. I figure the veil would hide all the choppy and uneveness of the cut. Besides, I think I will feel more bridal.

p.s. abbie i was just looking at the veil photo again and goshdarn your hair has gotten so long since i saw you last!

i know, right? i have an appointment for the 26th, cut (taking off at LEAST 3"!) and hair trial! then highlites again on the 8th.

My only concern is that it will be windy and blowing in my face....

you HAVE to order thru OccanseyDesigns Custom Wedding Veils - OBridal.com. so freakin cheap, FAST and gorgeous! just tell them its a rush and there is no charge, unless you need it in a few days. but you've got 2 weeks past me, so you'll be fine. check out her whole website, its really good. totally answers all your Q's. plus she emails right back if you ask her a Q by email.

here's a few more teasers! me in my shower dress! dougs mom bought, i love it

hahahahah, that is TOTALLY dougs hairy knuckles, not mine! these are his 4 rings i bought him from Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry | Titanium | Tungsten | Stainless Steel | Silver Jewelry. i actually bought 8 rings (4 styles, 2 sizes of each) and including shipping it was less than $50. real titanium, too! the 11 fits but will be too snug for hot times like mexico, the 12 fits but will be too loose in the winter. so he will go back and forth, depending.

oh ab i knew your veil was from occansey, i was referring to everything else that i may not know where it came from! (actually i am wearing my veil right now as i type, i am using it as motivation to not eat anything bad because i just tried on my dress and holy fuck i cant zip it!!!! i literally am eating nothing except raw veggies and baked boneless skinless chicken for the next 4 weeks! i will drink protein shakes for breakfast. fuck. me. this is all the working late and not working out catching up with me) but anyway i digress...

Drink lots of water and stay away from sodium. Try alli, you can poop it all out

maura! oh no! you and erin both, WTF?? that is so not exciting i'm so sad about you both. but, yet another reason i am LOVING my corset back. altho when i went for my final fitting, my underskirt barely zipped! because i had been working out my back so much, the muscle was thicker than the chub had been so i stopped working out! not cool. but now the skirt fits again.
